As airports around the world embrace solar energy, they are proving that large-scale renewable power systems are vital for the future of airport infrastructure. These advancements are paving the way for greener, more efficient airports globally, showcasing the transformative power of solar energy.
Regarding airport energy system planning, most of the existing research is based on the energy saving initiatives of airport terminal. For example, Cardona E, et al analyzed the typical energy demand of the airport and proposed feasible economic and technical standards for evaluating third-generation power plants .
In order to satisfy the “supply-demand” balance of airport energy system, traditional methods of capacity expansion of upstream power grid are less feasible due to high capital investment costs, land and resource restrictions, and long construction cycle .
From India to Australia, California to Germany, airports are installing vast solar arrays across terminal rooftops, parking structures, and unused land. These installations range from supplementary power sources to full-scale systems capable of meeting an airport's entire energy demand.
